This is a hidden place along Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore that time forgot. It is a place where you can escape to unwind, slow down, and switch off as you immerse yourself in untouched nature, pristine rivers and lakes, and unspoiled beaches.
The Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s, located in Guysborough County is ready for you.
